Mage? Spell Engineer!

It was late at night, and an exchange meeting between the Tower of Stars and the Archmage of the Tower of Forest was going on vigorously.

Master Copper was the first to say that it was amazing to be able to hide his footsteps behind the natural system that was good at perception.

Master Kano also praised him for being able to sneak in quietly during his vigil, admiring him.

Hahahaha, the three of them laughed together, and the study room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Old man, please empty the bag first and let us check it!"

Copper took out the book from the dimensional bag and said: "Since both parties are here, don't be sneaky. We will share one copy for you and one for me. After taking the original copy, you can also exchange the copy. The two towers have friendly exchanges, right? wrong?"

Master Kano did not express his position. When Copper was not paying attention, he called the bag over from the air, turned it inside out without mercy, and successfully made it spit out two exquisite tomes. After Copper let out a long sigh, the "spoils sharing meeting" officially began.

Rorschach chose three books to take with him. One is the epic myth "The Song of Radha" recorded by the elves. In addition to the text, there are also large poems, and the melody is marked with elves' notes; the other is a record of the rituals of the elves. Untitled book with totem. Finally, there are the elder’s notes.

Copper was very reluctant to part with the third copy chosen by Rorschach, and Qian Dingzhuwan asked him to pass it to the Forest Tower as soon as he got the copy.

Carnot's selection focused on elven astronomy, calendars, and materials describing the world, which were closely related to his research.

After all, Forest Tower is a companion of this group of forest residents. All information, especially ancient books, can supplement Forest Tower's research on elves and druids. Colbert basically wants them all.

Finally, Rorschach told Cobb a very important thing: "I once met an apprentice from the Forest Tower. Later, she transferred to another school and her name was Anastasia."

"Oh, who's the kid?"

It doesn't matter whether Colbert remembers it or not. Rorschach continued: "She entered the Forest Tower under the control of the Mother Earth Order, and there were people from the Order monitoring her in the tower."

Copper's expression finally turned serious: "Does little friend Luo Xia have any information about the cult?"

So Rorschach talked about the battles he encountered with the cult, as well as the problems of the local nobles:

"So I suspect that the cult is corroding and infiltrating in the central and southern parts of the empire and even the wider region. Judging from Tasia's description, it has targeted the recruitment of noble believers and developed into the Tower of the Forest.

On behalf of my personal suggestion, I hope you can preside over the internal inspection of the Forest Tower to eliminate members who have been infiltrated by the cult. "

"Hey, thanks for the reminder, little friend. I and the Tower of Forest will start a self-examination."

Next, all members of the Forest Tower stayed in the forest for follow-up processing. As for the Tower of Stars, Master Kano wanted to set up a magic circle and temporarily stationed at the elf village ruins as a representative; Cavendish and Rorschach were flooded Master Bao took him out of the Black Forest and returned to Peima City.

Pema City is still lively, and now is the peak season for fur trading. As an important town in the south of the empire and one of the hubs of commodity trade, every house facing the street here has a shop, and leather, wood and horse dealers can be seen on every street. signboard.

After seeing people coming and going for a long time and hearing the noisy noise of the downtown area, both Rorschach and Cavendish felt moved to finally return to human civilization.

At the airship's airport, Humboldt bid farewell to the two.

"Master Humboldt, Master Rorschach, I apologize for my initial attitude." Before leaving, Cavendish stroked his hands with one hand and bowed solemnly to the two of them.

"Well, your alchemy map has played a key role." Alexander comforted the apprentice of the Tower of Stars.

"Don't worry, I will say good things about you in the report." After Rorschach said that Cavendish was granted amnesty, he kept saying thank you and thank you.

"Aren't you going back to the Tower of Stars with your apprentice?"

Rorschach watched Cavendish leave: "Let's go to the Imperial Capital first and then go back to the academy to have a look."

In the Empire, if a mage talks about academy, he must be referring to the Royal Academy of Magic. Master Humboldt nodded to express understanding and said goodbye to Rorschach.

The specifications for the intra-Imperial flight were slightly different, with Rorschach having a single room this time. After checking that there were no traces of magic, he spread out his pen and paper and began to write a report to the agency director.

I have to delete, revise, and write another one for Kano later.

"I'm Rorschach."

"Please come in."

This time I saw the bald boss again. His dark circles were better, and there were not so many unprocessed files piled up on his desktop. Rorschach pulled up a chair and sat across the table from Sabins.

"Report on this operation." The report submitted by Rorschach to Jiguan focused on describing the power characteristics of "Mother Earth" and analyzing the cultist Peterson lurking in the Tower of Forest.

"There are indeed followers of the 'Mother of the Earth' in the Forest Tower. This time, a second-level mage was killed by us on the spot. But it was not confirmed whether he was a member of the 'Return to the Virgin' cult. Now the Archmage of the Forest Tower is against the cult. The infiltration has been alerted."

Sabins nodded and approved Rorschach's report: "But our agency still needs to understand and grasp the situation about the evil god and his followers."

"I have an idea." Rorschach thought of the information he had learned before: "It is said that the food production in the empire decreased last year?"

The bald head shook up and down: "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Council attach great importance to it."

"Stop, I'm not here to listen to you. I mean, a large number of mages and apprentices from the Forest Tower will be in the fields until spring plowing, investigating and preventing pests and diseases."

Sabins touched his chin: "You mean you can use this opportunity to investigate the members of the Forest Tower separately?"

"Don't disturb other people's research. The investigation is very simple. If the personnel stationed by the Forest Tower try to spread unknown beliefs to villagers and local nobles, or if they participate in unknown religious activities such as sacrifices, they can be suspected of being a cultist.

However, once you are discovered by the Forest Tower before you have conclusive evidence, you may be troubled by the Magic Tower and the guild. "

In the past, the bald man would have told Rorschach to believe in the agency's capabilities, but now he only replied cautiously: "It's a very useful suggestion. I will consider and deploy it carefully."

After saying that, Baldhead stood up and took out a bag of gold coins and a code book from the safe.

"Didn't you say business is business?"

Speaking of this, the head of the agency looked a little gloomy: "The Pachaluka Chamber of Commerce has been undergoing major personnel adjustments and organizational restructuring recently. This money includes past compensation and advances for the next six months. You don't want to pay any more." Contacted the trading company.

In the future, you will still need to contact someone one-way through newspaper advertisements, or through the embassy, ​​and change your password. "

Rorschach took the bag and the new codebook. The cowhide bag was full of gold coins, which pressed down on my hands. Alas, be careful, the paper money in the Holy Kingdom is so light now that it makes people feel uneasy. "In that case, I'll accept it, thank you."

Before leaving, Rorschach was suddenly stopped by Sabins, who added an incoherent sentence: "If one day you receive an evacuation message from the embassy in Valuauna and return home immediately, you must not Detention.”

"Could it be that"

"Don't guess, just do what you have to do." Sabins gave the order to expel the guests.

"Then take your leave."

Teacher Caroline hasn't come back yet. After confirming it, Rorschach left the academy.

There was a grocery store on the way from the college to the hotel, and Rorschach bought ten days' worth of "Marin News" in one go. It was the best-selling daily newspaper in the core area of ​​the empire and one of the mouthpieces of the Imperial Parliament.

The young mage thought for a while and bought all the "Business Daily" issues from the 5th, 10th, and 30th within three months. Rorschach successfully received an unfriendly look from his boss when he had to search for old inventory by a specific date. Fortunately, the stock of the Commercial Daily is still there, and the earliest copy is still stained with oil.

What are you looking at? I'm helping you clear the inventory, and I'm not asking you to chop it up.

Sabers' last words echoed in Rorschach's mind, an unsettling implication:

"Is the Empire going to war against the Holy Kingdom?"

It’s Chapter 100! yeah! Thank you book friends for your support!
